[Verse]
Sun's on the rise ain't waitin' for me
Chase it down through the tallest trees
Sky's burnin' red where dreams run free
Wind whispers truths I can't yet see

[Chorus]
Follow the sun where the shadows hide
Running with the wind and the changing tide
When this day’s done will it all feel right
Or just another fight another endless night

[Verse]
Footsteps fall on a crooked road
Carryin' weight that's bound to corrode
Each breath a gamble each step I owe
To the sun's fierce glare and the winds that blow

[Bridge]
Storm out there might tear me apart
Wind screams louder than a breaking heart
But I follow it down where the echoes start
Chasing something fierce raw and hard

[Chorus]
Follow the sun where the shadows hide
Running with the wind and the changing tide
When this day’s done will it all feel right
Or just another fight another endless night

[Verse]
Sky's tightening grip clouds come rollin' fast
Every direction a mirror of my past
But I'll keep movin' no questions asked
Cause the horizon’s promise is all that lasts

Follow The Sun

[Verse]
Well, I remember the day he came 'round,
A quiet man from a small-town ground.
Shook my hand and tipped his hat,
Didn’t know then he’d change all that.

[Verse 2]
He took Summer's heart with a steady hand,
Built her a life I didn't understand.
But soon I saw through his toughened grin,
That Jesse wasn’t just her win.

[Chorus]
Jesse showed me rivers, woods, and skies,
How to cast a line and let it fly.
Taught me the sound of a life well spent,
What family means and love's intent.
Oh, Jesse changed it all.

[Verse 3]
Out in a boat with dawn creeping in,
Talking ’bout life and where it’s been.
He said, "You don’t measure a man by fight,
But the love he leaves behind each night."

[Verse 4]
Through deer stands and campfire beer,
Shared his wisdom, made things clear.
It ain’t just the blood that makes you kin,
It’s the arms you open to pull them in.

[Chorus]
Jesse showed me rivers, woods, and skies,
How to cast a line and let it fly.
Taught me the sound of a life well spent,
What family means and love's intent.
Oh, Jesse changed it all.
